No frills, no gimmicks, no pretence; Simply Dylan is the brainchild of John O’Connell. Collaborating with other musicians the band perform interpretations of the songs of Bob Dylan. From a modest project recognising Dylan’s 70th Birthday in 2011 Simply Dylan have gone from selling out the Cavern Club 6 times, to receiving fantastic reviews from the Spanish Press, to impressing Dylan fans from across the UK on their Tours with SJM Concerts, to opening up the IOW Festival on the Big Top Stage.
It is their precise playing and high energy renditions of Dylan’s work from the 1970s onwards which has gathered momentum and generated incredible interest. No ordinary interpretation, Simply Dylan is a remarkable and exceptional project which promises to delight Dylan fans young and old and to ignite a new wave of passion for one of the world’s most prodigious songwriters.
